1998 TOYOTA 4RUNNER lock

4RUNNER (1998)
All the doors lock or unlock simulta-
neously.
REAR DOOR CHILD- PROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the ºLOCKº
position as shown on the label.
This feature allows you to lock a rear
door so it can be opened from the
outside only, not from inside. We rec-
ommend using this feature whenever
small children are in the vehicle.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the
doors are closed and locked, es-
pecially when small children are
in the vehicle. Along with the
proper use of seat belts, locking
the doors helps prevent the driv-
er and passengers from being
thrown out from the vehicle dur-
ing an accident. It also helps pre-
vent the doors from being
opened unintentionally.

CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury,
you must do the following. Always make sure the head,
hands and other parts of the
body of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle
before you close the power win-
dows. If someone's neck, head
or hands gets caught in a clos-
ing window, it could result in a
serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, be
sure that they operate the win-
dows safely.
When small children are in the
vehicle, never let them use the
power window switches without
supervision. Use the window
lock button to prevent them
from making unexpected use of
the switches.
Never leave small children alone
in the vehicle, especially with
the ignition key still inserted.
They could use the power win-
dow switches and get trapped
in a window. Unattended chil-
dren can become involved in
serious accidents.
